Default Sorting rows programmatically

I have a range that I want to sort on a specific column.
There is a Sort method that does just what I want with
one exception. I want to define a custom sort order that
is not simply ascending or descending. Here is an example
to show what I mean. Suppose I have a column called "Col
A" that I want to sort on. Let's say the column can have
values "A, B, or C", but I want to define the sort order
as follows: B, C, A. In other words, I always show Bs,
followed by Cs, followed by As. I thought about creating
a "data table" on another sheet to specify this sort
order, but I'm not sure if I can use the Sort method to
do this. Auy thoughts?

(Unsorted)
Col A
1 A
2 B
3 C

(Sorted using a custom sort order)
Col A
1 B
2 C
3 A
